This forest is situated about six miles south of Mathura and two-and-a-half miles south-west of Madhuvan. It was once an enchanting forest full of palm (tala) trees. Cruel Kansa had appointed one of his followers, Dhenukasur, to guard this forest, a duty he carefully performed along with his many wives and sons. Only Maharaja Kansa and his followers enjoyed the forest's sweet tala fruits, which were otherwise inaccessible to ordinary people.
